@bizbrunei: After losing his job in logistics during the pandemic, Haikal Sibat found a way forward by starting @DapurLagenda.Bn from home. Five years later, his daging lalap is now found in supermarkets nationwide. At this year’s Proudly Brunei Business Awards, the 42-year-old took centre stage as the night’s only double winner, taking home both the Food Award and Startup Award. From losing his job to employing 12 others, from starting at home to operating from a small commercial factory - and from selling through WhatsApp to reaching the shelves of Hua Ho - Haikal’s comeback is a defining entrepreneurial story of turning setback into growth. Proudly Brunei is Brunei’s national business awards, organised by Brunei Economic Development Board (BEDB) to recognise and celebrate performance excellence and entrepreneurial achievement.
